Ingredients:

  • lbs Carrots, peeled
  • tbsp Olive Oil
  • tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
  • /4 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
  • tbsp Maple Syrup
  • /2 tsp Fine Sea Salt
  • /4 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • tbsp fresh Parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C / Gas Mark 6). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel the carrots. Cut them into uniform, bite-sized pieces (about 1.5 inches long) to ensure even cooking.
  3. Place chopped carrots in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and toss well to coat lightly. Spread carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Pour the glaze mixture over the carrots on the baking sheet. Use your hands or tongs to toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated in the brown sugar mixture.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 15 minutes.
  7. Remove the pan, gently toss the carrots to prevent sticking, and return to the oven. Roast for another 15–20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork and the glaze is bubbling and caramelized.
  8. Transfer to a serving dish immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley, if using, and serve hot.
